Description

A kind of transmission-type of improvement or reflective liquid-crystal display and preparation method thereof
The application is that the name of submitting to October 31 calendar year 2001 is called the dividing an application of No. 01134412.1 patented claim of " a kind of transmission-type of improvement or reflective liquid-crystal display and novel method for making thereof ".
A) the technical field of the invention
The present invention relates to comprise the LCD of the box with clear and definite shape, size and aspect ratio, this box is filled with liquid crystal, preferably adopts the object dyestuff to fill; The invention still further relates to the novel process for preparing of LCD.
B) background technology
Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (polymer dispersion film) (PDLC) shows and generally includes two transparent plates that have electrode, is disposed opposite to each other and separates with spacer.Polymer dispersed liquid-crystal film is encapsulated between two plates.Polymer dispersed liquid-crystal film can reach 200 micron thickness, but its thickness is between 2 microns to 50 microns usually.Box seals, and purpose is to eliminate oxygen and moisture, and oxygen and moisture can cause chemical erosion to liquid crystal.P.S.Drzaic's " dispersed liquid crystal type " (1995) one books are seen in the detailed commentary of Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal technology.
Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal is made up of the micron-scale droplet that is scattered in the low-molecular-weight nematic liquid crystal in the polymer adhesive usually.To the strong scattered light of row droplet, this material has White-opalescent or translucent outward appearance (" off state ").When applying voltage difference between two electrodes (" on-state "), electric field makes particle alignment, thus the normal refraction rate of liquid crystal almost the refractive index with isotropic polymer matrix is consistent, reduced the scattering power of particulate significantly, light can be passed through.In on-state, box thereby seem bright or transparent; At off state, box is then opaque.
In object-main body (guest-host) polymer dispersed liquid crystal display, dyestuff particularly pleochroism or dichroic dyestuff is added in the liquid crystal as object, thereby makes the display of high color contrast.For example, because this dye molecule has the performance that is arranged in parallel with liquid crystal molecule, if a kind of dichroic dye with clavate structure is added in the liquid crystal, if by apply the direction that electric field changes liquid crystal molecule on electrode of opposite, the direction of dye molecule also can change.Because this dyestuff is to be used for painted or irrelevant with orientation, thereby might colored state (" off state ") and colourless state (" on-state ") be changed by apply voltage on two electrodes.Known in the art, in object-main polymer dispersed liquid crystal display, use dichroism or pleochromatic dyestuff can improve contrast.
Polymer dispersed liquid crystal display can be transmission-type and/or reflective.The transmission-type polymer dispersed liquid crystal display has an interior lighting light source.Make light can pass through box two electrode application voltage.An exemplary of transmission-type polymer dispersed liquid crystal display is a Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal top projector.Reflective polymer dispersed liquid crystal display generally includes the black of reflection or painted color filter, and as seen it can become in pellucidity.In personal digital assistant device (PDA) device, can find reflective polymer dispersed liquid crystal display.Owing to need not to use polariscope, transmission-type and reflective polymer dispersed liquid crystal display are attractive especially.Polariscope reduces light significantly and reduces direct-viewing type and the brightness of projection displays.There is not polariscope also can provide better visual angle.
Polymer dispersed liquid crystal display with technology preparation formerly has many shortcomings.For example: the droplet in the Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal has very wide Size Distribution usually, and this causes obvious hysteresis, higher operation voltage, poor contrast, disagreeable red gum spot and low-level multipath transmission.Yet the hysteresis of polymer dispersed liquid-crystal film must be lower so that show repeatably gray scale, and for the application of most of personal digital assistant devices, the low voltage operating of instrument and high-contrast are basic demands.United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 835, No. 174 (Clikeman etc.), the 5th, 976, No. 405 (Clikeman etc.) and the 6th, 037, No. 058 (Clikeman etc.), point out us to use monodispersed liquid crystal particle in the micro-meter scale scope, lag behind and operating voltage to reduce, and improve multiplex level.Concerning great majority are used, still lower with the contrast of the Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal device of monodisperse particles preparation.The not thickness of sacrificial polymer dispersed liquid-crystal film and operating voltage in order to improve contrast need the object dyestuff, preferred pleochroism dyestuff or dichroic dye.Yet the method for prior art can not accurately be encapsulated into the object dyestuff of high concentration in liquid crystal phase in preparation process, thereby, dyestuff that only can the inclusion low concentration in monodisperse polymer particles.Some object dyestuff may be stayed the outside of particle, thereby causes the increase of Dmin (background minimum light density) and contrast to reduce.
People wish to produce single dispersion liquid domain very much, and this can reduce requirement, acquisition high-contrast and the high-caliber multipath transmission to high operation voltage and reduce lag-effect.
The invention summary
First aspect of the present invention is about liquid crystal (LC) display, and it comprises all essentially identical box of shape, size and aspect ratio.This box preferably adopts the liquid crystal that contains the object dyestuff to fill.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to the novel method for preparing this LCD.
The invention still further relates to the preparation of shape, size and the essentially identical box of aspect ratio.Encapsulation preferably contains the liquid crystal of object dyestuff in the box, and is made by the miniature cup of making according to the present invention.In brief, the method for preparing miniature cup relates to: coat thermoplasticity or thermoset precursors thing layer on the conducting film with the mold pressing of preformed punch, then before thermoplasticity or the sclerosis of thermoset precursors thing layer, during or carry out the demoulding afterwards, sclerosis is by radiation, cooling, solvent evaporation or additive method.On the other hand, miniature cup can be made with following method: graph exposure is coated with the conducting film of radiation-curable layers, removes unexposed area in sclerosis back, exposure area then.According to LCD of the present invention, wherein said object dyestuff is a kind ofly to lose lustre or add color system.
Can prepare with any method of above-mentioned two kinds of methods and to have the miniature cup of the anti-molten and thermo-mechanical robust of monodispersed size and dimension basically.For most of display application, the range of size of miniature cup is from sub-micron to 10 micron, preferred 0.5 micron to 5 microns.Miniature cup can be an arbitrary shape, has the more shape of the large interface total area between liquid crystal and the miniature cup although preferably make.Fill miniature cup and sealing with the liquid crystal that preferably contains the object dyestuff then.
The miniature cup that another aspect of the present invention relates to being filled with liquid crystal seals, and is preferably the liquid crystal that contains the object dyestuff.Can seal with several different methods, preferable methods is before filling step, the sealant compositions that contains thermoplasticity or thermoset precursors thing to be disperseed in liquid crystal phase.Sealant compositions is not dissolved each other with liquid crystal and is had the proportion lower than liquid crystal.After the filling, thermoplasticity or thermoset precursors thing are separated, and form the floating layer in surface on liquid crystal.So can finish the sealing of miniature cup easily by sclerosis precursor layer, the sclerosis of precursor layer can utilize solvent evaporation, interfacial reaction, moisture, heat or radiation to finish.Though the combination of above-mentioned two or more curing mechanisms can be used to increase the sealing turnout, ultraviolet light (UV) radiation is the method for optimizing of sealing miniature cup.Alternatively, also can seal miniature cup with the sealant compositions coating of liquid crystalline that contains thermoplasticity or thermoset precursors thing.The solvent that uses in sealant compositions is very crucial.Solvent preferably and liquid crystal does not dissolve each other and proportion is low than liquid crystal.In order to guarantee good coating homogeneity, the viscosity of control surface tension force and sealant compositions is also very important.Finish sealing by the sclerosis sealant compositions then, sclerosis then is to finish by the combination of solvent evaporation, interfacial reaction, moisture, heat, radiation or curing mechanism.These encapsulating methods also are features of the present invention.
Another aspect of the present invention is that liquid crystal display does not have hysteresis phenomenon.Liquid crystal display device of the present invention is made up of monodispersed miniature cup basically, is filled with liquid crystal in this miniature cup and preferably is filled with the object dyestuff.Component to miniature cup is optimized, and the general refractive index of the isotropic refractive index of miniature cup and liquid crystal is complementary like this.In a kind of mode similar to the traditional polymer dispersed liquid crystal display, LCD of the present invention is strong scattered beam when not having electric field (" off state ").When applying voltage difference between two electrodes, electric field is arranged liquid crystal and is reduced its scattering power to a great extent, thereby allows light by " on-state " transmission.Yet different with Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal is, liquid crystal display of the present invention is issued to limpid state on the greatest optical at much lower voltage, can be returned to initial " opening circuit " state and do not have undesirable hysteresis when stopping to apply voltage.For the low power consumption that presses for, can repeat gray scale and video frequency, it is crucial that low operating voltage of the present invention, fast response time and the display that does not have a hysteresis are used high quality displayer.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to the preparation of the LCD that is made of the stack of multilayer miniature cup.This method step comprises: prepare the ground floor miniature cup with above-mentioned any method on conductive substrate, fill miniature cup with liquid crystal components, sealing comes the miniature cup of stacked sealing at last with second conductive substrate that scribbles adhesive phase in advance.Bonding agent can be a hotmelt, the bonding agent that is heating and curing, moisture-curable bonding agent or radiation-curing binders.Making us interested especially is to have used ultraviolet light curing adhesive in the present invention.For improving contrast, can use the above miniature cup array of one deck.This method step comprises: the preparation miniature cup, fill with liquid crystal components, and sealing, with the miniature cup array of second layer miniature cup formation component coating or stacked sealing, second miniature cup array is shaped with any method of describing in the past (preferably die pressing); The following step of repeated several times, i.e. the filling of miniature cup and sealing forms the miniature cup of component coating or stacked sealing with another layer miniature cup, last on which floor miniature cup stacked precoating second conductive substrate of adhesive phase is arranged.The preformed punch used of preparation miniature cup be before thermoplasticity or the sclerosis of thermoset precursors thing layer, during or carry out the demoulding afterwards
Another aspect of the present invention relates to the method that conductive substrate that utilization scribbles (red, green, indigo plant) color filter and preferred black substrate in advance prepares the full color reflective LCD.Alternatively, full-color display can prepare with following step: be layered on the preformed miniature cup with one deck positive photoresist, optionally open the miniature cup of some by the graph exposure positive photoresist, described etchant resist then develops, fill the miniature cup of opening with the liquid crystal components that contains object dyestuff (dichroic dye of preferred first look), seal the miniature cup of having filled with aforementioned encapsulating method.These steps can repeat, to make the miniature cup of the sealing of filling the liquid crystal components that contains the second or the 3rd look object dyestuff.Available black substrate improves contrast and color saturation.
The rapid method of the multistep of these disclosures can roll-to-roll continuous or semi-continuous carrying out.Thereby they are suitable in enormous quantities and low-cost production.With other large-scale production process comparatively speaking, these production methods also are efficient and cheaply.LCD according to the present invention's preparation is insensitive to environment, particularly to humidity and temperature-insensitive.This display can be very thin, flexible, durable, easy operating and a great variety of modelsization.Because the LCD according to the present invention's preparation comprises a plurality of boxes with gratifying aspect ratio and monodispersed substantially shape and size, so the display of making according to the present invention shows many perfect performance, as low power consumption, fast response time, high-caliber multipath transmission, high-contrast and owing to there not being undesirable hysteresis to have repeatably gray scale.
According to LCD of the present invention, box is wherein made by aperture area about 1 to the miniature cup of about 25 square microns; The degree of depth of box about 0.5 is to about 10 microns; The opening of box and the ratio of wall are about 0.2 to about 9; The glass temperature range of used thermoplasticity or thermoset precursors thing layer is from-20 ℃ to about 100 ℃ approximately in the manufacture process.Thermosetting among the present invention or thermoplastic precursors thing material are selected from: acrylate, methacrylate, vinyl compound, the acrylate of multivalence, the methacrylate of multivalence, cyanoacrylate, the vinyl compound of multivalence, the epoxide of multivalence, the isocyanates of multivalence, the propenyl compound of multivalence, and oligomer of deriving or polymkeric substance
